Praise for Agile Project Management with Kanban
“I have been fortunate to work closely with Eric for many years. In that time
he has been one of the most productive, consistent, and efcient engineering
leaders at Xbox. His philosophy and approach to software engineering are truly
successful.”
—Kareem Choudhry, Partner Director of Software Engineering for Xbox
“Eric easily explains why Kanban has proven itself as a useful method for
managing and tracking complicated work. Don’t expect this book to be an
overview, however. Eric channels his deep understanding and experiences
using Kanban at Microsoft to help you identify and avoid many of the common
difculties and risks when implementing Kanban.”
—Richard Hundhausen, President, Accentient Inc.
“Learning how Xbox uses Kanban on large-scale development of their platform
lends real credibility to the validity of the method. Eric Brechner is a hands-on
software development management practitioner who tells it like it is—solid,
practical, pragmatic advice from someone who does it for a living.”
—David J. Anderson, Chairman, Lean Kanban Inc.
“As a software development coach, I continuously search for the perfect reference
to pragmatically apply Kanban for continuous software delivery. Finally, my
search is over.”
—James Waletzky, Partner, Crosslake Technologies
“Kanban has been incredibly effective at helping our team in Xbox manage
shifting priorities and requirements in a very demanding environment. The
concepts covered in Agile Project Management with Kanban give us the
framework to process our work on a daily basis to give our customers the high-
quality results they deserve.”
—Doug Thompson, Principal Program Manager, Xbox Engineering
“An exceptional book for those who want to deliver software with high quality,
predictability, and exibility. Eric’s in-depth experience in the software industry
has resulted in a realistic book that teaches Kanban in a simple and easy way. It is
a must-read for every software professional!”
—Vijay Garg, Senior Program Manager, Xbox Engineering
